1 Strategic Overview: Particle and Particle Astrophysics Persis S. Drell Deputy Director Director, Particle and Particle Astrophysics 1/24/2006 EPAC 1
2 SLAC: A Lab in Transition SLAC s research vision is evolving dramatically. The balance and content of the scientific foci is changing in substantial ways Photon science is rapidly expanding It will be the dominant laboratory program by the end of the decade. In 2009, the major accelerator-based facilities will both be primarily serving photon science Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics Will no longer have forefront accelerator based HEP program on site. Non-accelerator efforts will grow Will be serving user community at accelerator facilities that will be off site e.g. ILC; other potential accelerator opportunities 1/24/2006 EPAC 2
3 Photon Science Future X-Rays have opened the Ultra-Small World -- Realm of SPEAR photons/sec from high brightness undulator 400 ev 40 KeV 50 ps pulse limited coherence at x-ray wavelengths X-ray Lasers will open the Ultra-Small and Ultra-Fast Worlds Realm of LCLS photons/pulse 800 ev 9 KeV 200 fs pulse at commissioning few * 10 fs within 1-2 years fully coherent at x-ray wavelengths 1/24/2006 EPAC 3
4 Linac Coherent Light Source LCLS Will Be The World s First X-ray Laser 1/24/2006 EPAC 4
5 LCLS: Remarkable Opportunities for Discovery Femtochemistry and Biology Nanostructured Materials Atomic Physics Plasmas and Warm Dense Matter Imaging of Nanoclusters and Single Biomolecules X-ray Laser Physics 1/24/2006 EPAC 5
6 Changes to Optimize Lab for its Future New Laboratory Organization and Management Structure New structure is built around four new directorates -- Particle & Particle Astrophysics, Photon Science, LCLS Construction, and Operations. Lab is better positioned to serve the two science focus areas New structure stresses the importance of strong and effective line management at the laboratory 1/24/2006 EPAC 6

10 An Exciting and Challenging Time in Field of Particle Physics The Standard Model of quarks and leptons is fabulously successful---and fabulously incomplete It only describes ~5% of the Universe Compelling Questions confront us Within this decade a new accelerator is coming on line with potential to make dramatic progress in our understanding LHC We are also developing the accelerator for discovery in the next decade: ILC Non accelerator strategies essential components achieving our scientific goals Long term health and future of the field of HEP relies on ILC Excellent progress towards international realization of such a machine---but not a certainty Budgets are very constrained 1/24/2006 EPAC 10
11 SLAC PPA Program: Exploiting the present and preparing for the future Science now or soon B Factory (operations to 2008) GLAST ( /17) SLAC Participation in the LHC (2007 and beyond) Proof of principle experiments in accelerator research R&D for science in the next decade (2010 and beyond) ILC (2016?) LSST (first light 2012??) JDEM (20??) EXO (2012?? if R&D successful) R&D for farther future Accelerator Research FFTB SABER 1/24/2006 EPAC 11
12 Programmatic Priorities For the near term: We must focus on B-factory performance and delivery of science to our largest user community For the mid term: We must continue in our leadership role for the ILC Highest priority new facility for the world community We must complete GLAST construction and develop the ISOC Deliver the science to the user community We must work to provide additional opportunities for science to the HEP user community in ~2012 e.g. LHC, LSST, EXO, JDEM,... For the long term: The R&D in accelerator science is our hope for the future of the field To make the next accelerator *after* the ILC technically feasible and affordable 1/24/2006 EPAC 12
13 Near Term Program: Science Now or Soon B-factory GLAST SLAC Participation in the LHC 1/24/2006 EPAC 13

24 SLAC Participation in LHC Motivations: Energy frontier Physics. Synergy between LHC and ILC. Experience in detector and operations relevant for ILC. To maintain a healthy work force for ILC Strong user interest from traditional SLAC user community Our experience on detector/computing are seen as valuable assets which could help ATLAS to prepare for the first physics at LHC. The M&S cost is moderate and should be able to fit more flexibly into the Lab budget. Good synergy with existing LARP participation Strongly supported by our theory community 1/24/2006 EPAC 24
25 Proposed Areas of Involvement Specific proposal for SLAC participation in ATLAS developed under leadership of Su Dong and Charlie Young Four related items: Pixel detector Trigger Simulation Tier 2 computing center Simulation production Calibration. Primary location for physics analysis. A really functional Tier 2 requires much more than keeping a bunch of boxes running. Proposal for SLAC to join ATLAS is being presented to you at this meeting Also considered CMS option 1/24/2006 EPAC 25
